What did the pioneers eat?

There were no
grocery stores or supermarkets for the pioneers. They had to provide
food for themselves. They hunted and trapped animals, caught fish in
the rivers and lakes, and gathered herbs, roots and berries from the
forest. The rest of the food came from their fields, gardens and
farmyards. They grew fruits, vegetables, and grains and raised pigs,
cows, chickens, ducks, and goats.
